I thought you knew there are different types of website to develop what the client want dynamically on the web page.

Website can be both service and product attracting customers to come back visiting site over and over.

So far you already knew that Nairaland.com is a database-driven community site with the emphasis in public discussion forum or bulletin board or message board. TV portal site is interactive or multimedia that allows displaying video, audio, or animated files with playback buttons dynamically on the website.

IE AntiVirus (also known as IE AntiVirus 3.2) is a new rogue anti-spyware program - a fake spyware remover, which uses scare tactics to intimidate the user into buying it's fake full version.

IE AntiVirus is a clone of MalwareBell, FilesSecure and IEDefender. Having said that, it's no different than any other rogue on or off the list: IE AntiVirus uses trojans, such as Zlob or Vundo, to enter the system, upon which it uses popups and fake system notifications to falsely inform the user that he is infected and therefore needs an anti-spyware program to dispose of the infection.

IE AntiVirus is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block IE AntiVirus.com using your HOSTS file.

By the way I don't think so you are authorized this at office you mean at your job. Only System Administrator who set up all multiple user account for entire office department, not you.

NEVER PUT ANY PERSONAL STUFF on your office system---LEAVE THEM AT HOME COMPUTER.

If it is not at your work/job, then here is info below:

Use Windows XP user account, create your own username and password plus add username/password for your family, friends who use your computer system other than you on windows login system or enable "Guest User Account" for anyone accessing your computer.

Your friend will use non-password Windows login as Guest Account that is restricted not able to open your personal folder there.

Step by step instruction how to enable Guest User Account or to customize new user account on Windows XP at below (either way you want):

Windows XP: Activate Guest User Account enabled:

Thank Ex Inferis for compliment about my blessing being deafness.

@pipmaster

Go back Terminal command on the following code at below to make correct Username and Password as described next paragraph:

sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

In the above script(code), you will need to change a few pieces of information.

First, you will need to replace “XXXXXXXXXX@provider.com” with the 10-digit phone number and provider domain assigned to your data card. (For example: 001412064@vzw3g.com).

Lastly, change the password to the one supplied to you by your provider. This password is normally referred to as an MTL or PIN number and is typically 6 digits long, but may vary depending on your provider.

If you are unsure of what values to enter here, contact your service provider.

HowTo: Uninstall Linux OS but keep Windows OS without losing data

@lynxmoon and all Windows Users (who install any Linux OS to decide uninstall Linux OS while keeping Windows OS without losing any data).

Spent my time researching to find user-friendly install/uninstall OS software for Windows user to remove Linux OS the easy way. Very useful for next time if you plan to re-install any Linux OS again, use that installer software the easy way.

I decided to give you one of two best software to be installed under Dual Boot selecting Windows at below:

1) Wubi: http://wubi.sourceforge.net/ 

2) unetbootin: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

Both #1 and #2 are the same how to remove Ubuntu or any Linux OS at below:

3)  then after done, reboot it, then still remain boot to select Windows as follow instruction at below:

You uninstall it as any other applications. In Windows go to the control panel and select "Add or Remove Programs", then select Ubuntu or any Linux OS and uninstall it. You can also use the uninstaller that you find in the installation folder.

Wubi Uninstaller screenshot after Wubi installation:

https://wubi.sourceforge.net/images/wubi-uninstall_small.png

unetbootin Uninstaller screenshot after Unethbootin installation:

[Sorry i cannot find its screenshot]

Online Help refer installer software:

Wubi site: http://wubi-installer.org/index.php

Unetbootin site: www.howtoforge.com/unetbootin_windows_ubuntu_fedora (please go through 6 pages before u decide to download)

=====
Other way if you do not wish to download mentioned above, here is the alternative at below:

Since you have Windows XP CD already, FIRST thing you try to back up all your data from WinXP (My Document folder, Favorite Bookmark, Apache folder (WAMP) if you are webmaster, Outlook Express file if you use it, and any paid downloaded software .exe) on your blank CDRW disc.

If you have any your data from Ubuntu 8.04 and 7.04, then back up /home/yourusername on separated blank CDRW disc. Keep it for your future reference later once you decide to re-install Ubuntu on different system, you can copy/paste existing data from backup CD on empty /home/username directory (same username, you can rename old username to new ones) after Ubuntu installation.

Finally,
(1) then boot with WinXP CD that prompt you to do recovery console to select "repair windows" and type command fixmbr.

(2) Then reboot the computer, you should boot directly into windows instead of the bootmanager that lists ubuntu.  From inside windows you can right-click on my computer, goto manage, and kill the ubuntu partition from inside Windows XP.

(3) you'r done.

Everything back normal as originally. Good luck at your own risk!!!

If you do not understand this, please print this out bringing your computer/laptop and WinXP CD with you to give to your computer technician. Technician will follow this instruction for you. Watch him and once done be sure check your system running properly before leaving, IMPORTANT: don't forget taking your WinXP CD with you. (don't let Techie steal your WinXP CD you don't trust)

tumababa:
is it possible to connect to the internet using se-k800 on vista? it gives me limited connectivity. i need help plssssssssss

@tumababa

After i researched the specifications of se-k800 from google, my answer is yes.

According to the specification, your se-k800 is 100% functionality and connectivity via Bluetooth technology, infrared port, modem, pictBridge, synchronization PC, USB mass storage and USB support.

It means your cellphone, se-k800, has the capability of using modem that is fully GSM internet dial-up support.

Therefore, you can try following @josylad's phone modem via pc (both Windows XP and Vista) configuration mentioned above posting. Linux OS does works well---different configuration---google how to configure phone modem via pc using Linux OS.

Good luck!

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-132432.0.html

Yes all newer laptop and deskotp computer has 60 days Windows Vista trial version in order to buy full version upon 60 days trial expired.

I am so sorry, this is FACT!

Let other comment about re-install Windows 2003 upon Windows Vista 60 days trial expired, because I myself am not Windows Vista user.

I stick with both Windows XP professional and Ubuntu 8.04, never want buying Windows Vista anymore over 20 years my experience of upgrade Windows OS too many times (all phase out: Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, and now Windows XP). Windows XP will be phase out in 2010 or 2014.(i don't remember which one)

And I never buy newer desktop pc system, i always disassemble myself to replace newer motherboard/CPU processor/hard disk drive every 5 years once one of part died out. Just like car trade in for newer car when older car about to broke down sooner after 10-12 years longer. No problem.

Good luck.

[li]Microsoft Internet Explorer (Free) [/li]
[li]Camino (Free) [/li]
[li]Safari (Mac) (Free) [/li]

There are only three top operating systems (bold text) people use based on their own personal preferences at below:

1. Windows OS:
[list]
[li]Windows XP (after June 30, 2008 no more marketing--work on 512MB RAM and 60-160GB hard disk drive),[/li]


[li] Windows Vista (must be higher 1-4GB RAM and 160-320GB hard disk drive requirement---will not accept older computer/laptop less than 512MB RAM)[/li]
[/list]

2. Macintosh (from Apple) OS: Mac

3. Linux OS: (10 top)---choose one or two if u want dual boot.
[list]
[li] a. Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron,[/li]
[li] b. openSUSE,[/li]

[li] j. Gentoo Linux,[/li]
[li] and k. FreeBSD.[/li]


[li]All Linux OS work older computer systems with 512MB RAM and 40GB-80GB hard disk drive as well as newer systems. If you have less than 512MB RAM, please pick "minimal optimization" during Linux OS installation.[/li]
[/list]

Some people use Dual Boot for Windows OS, Mac OS and Linux OS on one computer/laptop system to choose which OS to boot, no problem.

For example some people are dedicated graphic designers, AutoCAD engineer, and video/music producers, web hosting administrators as well as heavy interactive games, then their systems must be between 160GB and 320GB hard disk drive and largest RAM memory chip at least 512MB or 1-4GB, depend on what type of system you use for.

some people are just regular user, no need largest hard disk drive and RAM memory chip for internet, email, and office productivity (word processing, spreadsheet, basic database).

Hope it helps!

how do i install anything in ubuntu , ther eis no .exe file , so that i can click and install it ,
here its difficult , m goin crazy ,
this is wht i hav downloaded http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Beryl-Download-19790.html

the file is beryl.zip,
i extracted it n now there are 4 files 1) beryl-core-0.2.1.tar.bz2 2) beryl-core-0.2.1.tar.gz

3) beryl-manager-0.2.1.tar.bz2 4) beryl-manager-0.2.1.tar.gz

i just can't figure out the head or tail of how to install it ,

i hav downloaded mac4lin , its the same , many files , n i donno how to istall it ,

@hunter1234

Forget it to use google for linux software like beryl and mac4lin from http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Beryl-Download-19790.html! You need use terminal commands 'sudo apt-get install' from /home/username/desktop or temp files where beryl folder and mac4lin folder or temp files located something like that. I suggest you may delete off your desktop where 4 files of beryl and mac4lin located. Too much complex for that.

This is not the same way what Windows OS how to download and unzip those files! The linux OS completely different how to download packages. Windows uses .exe format or .zip format. Linux use .deb format or .tar gz format. That is clear!

Easy way to do this at below:

1.  Use Add/Remove Application that is found at Applications > Add/Remove Applications.

2.  Enter word "beryl" on the search box and hit search button. Wait it find its beryl software.

3.  Double-click that beryl software to be installed then go back to search box entering "mac4lin".

4.  Wait it find its mac4lin software, double-click that software to be installed, then finally hit "Apply"

5.  It will automatically download two software into Ubuntu system.

6.  Once it done, Beryl Manager should be located at Systems > Administration > Beryl Manager menu.

7.  mac4lin should be located at Applications > Accessories or System tools > mac4lin menu.

if Add/Remove Applications prompts message suggesting you to use advanced Synaptic Package Manager that is found at Systems > Administrations > Synaptic Package Manager. You still need enter your password opening Synaptic Package Manager.

Do same thing using its search box field finding 'beryl' and 'mac4lin" accepting dependencies (installation) and hit "apply" button.

Good luck!

I ask u few more questions before i go googling finding uninstall ubuntu.

1.) Do you want uninstall both ubuntu 8.04 and 7.04? Or just uninstall old ubuntu?

2.) What about Windows XP?

3.) Do u have genuine (not pirated or cracked) Windows XP CD with you?

4.) what is the total space your hard disk drive now? 80GB? 160GB? 320GB?

Because I read the Ubuntu Partition editor on google as well as switching/copying the "/home" directory on Ubuntu (similar to "My Document" directory in Windows XP). It talks about during Ubuntu installation.

I look for existing Ubuntu already installed on system. That's why i was not sure about it---like i said it is very complex step by step without risk losing your data.

I going to to ask the author of Ubuntu Howto: install Partition Editor few questions before I post here later. Be sure if I am doing the right thing to give you correct instruction for you from the author's Ubuntu Howto.

Be patient for a short while!

Let me answer your question below using red text highlight:

1. Is it possible to submit info in a form to an email address and how does one do it.more like submit all details in a form to an email.

Yes, it is possible to submit info in a email-form submission electronically directly to your email address that is depend on which web host server u use. If it is linux web host, then all you need is to create HTML form page (form.html) and PHP submit result page(submit.php). The submit.php can be include "Thank You page" as your confirmation page as result.

Google to type "PHP email form", pick the one is basic HTML form and submit page.

2. what exactly is cgbin.and how do you use it.

CGI-BIN is another client-server language using PERL. Varies you can use it for PERL email form like PHP email form above. e-Commerce (shop cart) page using PERL, all PERL files (.pl) must be install on CGI-BIN folder ONLY. There are many more PERL programming to build for web pages.

3. Am i incharge of securing data on my website or is it, My Webhost.

Yes, you are in charge of securing data, uploading data, managing data, modifiying data, delete data on your website on your own web host server you already purchased for the first time and remaining renewal domain every year. You are totally resonsponsible.

Just like you take care of your car to fill up gas, change oil as needed basis. Without gas and oil, your car will not run!!!

4. How can i create my form such that the information goes to my database and the user sees a confirmation page.and not information on the page.

You create form to employ actions/behaviors resulting in HTML, PHP, XML, JAVASCRIPT, or other scriptings you already familiar with on the fly website. Also you code loading external files such as .doc, .pdf, .jpg, .gif as well as database files into website.

If you use linux web host (or local host) accessing phpMyAdmin server where MySQL database host there, then you need to know how to create database table using SQL query language/syntax in order to insert new info into database.

If you want all confirnation page to be stored into database, then you still have to code telling MySQL database to store all submit.php into database file. You still are in charge of edit, modify, delete database the same way you do on web page.

Hope it does help!

Tell me which server you host? Windows? or Unix/Linux?

If you use Windows web hosting server, it will retrieve MS-Access Database using ASP scripting, because Windows server has different database called MS-SQL Database. Here is a tutorial link below:

Dreamweaver tutorial with DSN-less Connection string using MS Access and ASP script:

http://www.expertrating.com/courseware/DreamweaverCourse/Dreamweaver-Database-7-2.asp

If you use Unix/Linux web hosting server, I have no idea how to retrieve MS Access Database using PHP scripting, because Unix/Linux server has different database called MySQL Database.

MySQL and MS-SQL are different database hosting server but the same sql query language to store/retrieve database data.

I strongly believe that ubuntunigeria blog is very complex for NEW LINUX USERS. That I never like the way how it configure step by step from blog. The author of ubuntunigeria blog should create USER-FRIENDLY step by step basic and simple for new Linux users to understand less headache.

In my way, there is easy way to obtain kppp (k) or gnome-PPP (gnome) on Ubuntu is running either way: Add/Remove Applications or Synaptic Package Manager. Of course you are required entering the administration authorized password if prompt dialog message.


This way:

1.) Applications > Add/Remove Applications

2.) Enter Search box: ppp. Wait it will search automatically for you.

3.) Select one "ppp" you want to install.

4.) Hit "Apply". It will automatically install for you.

5.) Once done completed installation, find gnome-PPP or Kppp that is located at Applications > Internet to open and setting up the following your ISP networking configuration information ubuntunigeria blog site mentioned.

Other way:
1.) System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager menu

2.) Hit "Search" button to type up the word "ppp". It will automatically search for "ppp" for you.

3.) Select one package of "ppp" dependencies depend on the type of GUI (gnome) or non-GUI (K) then you are ready to make the system changes, by hit "Apply" button. It will automatically install for you. After done completely installation.

4.) Find gnome-PPP or Kppp that is located at Applications > Internet to open and setting up the following your ISP networking configuration information ubuntunigeria blog site mentioned.

What is Dual-Boot?

lynxnoon:
@uspry1
hi tnx 4 all your info on linux (esp. ubuntu)
I would like to knw if its possible to unistall ubuntu from my hard drive, don't get me wrong am currently using hardy heron but i noticed anytime i start the system and it gets to the grub loader page it shows about 3 versions of ubuntu i'e the new hardy heron & old versions & of course windows xp
Please any help on this?
Thanks

@lynxnoon

Let me explain you very clearly. this is called Dual Boot during Grub loader asking you which OS you want to boot. You have 3 different OS at below:

[list]
[li]Windows XP[/li]
[li]Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron[/li]
[li]Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn[/li]
[/list]

How did it happen when you first install OS? During installing new OS, it happens detecting to check the remaining the hard disk drive to prompt a pop-up windows to ask you few selections what you want:

Suppose that you have 160GB hard disk drive as example:

[list]
[li]Do you want partition separatedly: shown two OS with the percentage of file usage like this Windows XP - 53GB; Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn - 53GB and Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron - 53GB [/li] If you chose this one, that means it will split 3 partitions on your hard drive disk automatically for you.


[li]Do you want partition partially: it mean you choose one of OS removed: Ubuntu 7.04 Feity Fawn and one to keep OS: Windows XP - 80GB in order to add new OS:Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron - 80GB[/li]


[li]Do you want entire whole partition: it means to wipe off existing OS you have: Ubuntu 7.04 Feity Fawn and Windows XP in order to add new OS: Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron - 160GB [/li]
[/list]

As of result you already pick first selection to split 3 partitions setting up multiple Dual Boot for you to choose which OS you want to boot.

Nothing wrong with having mult-dual boot you want to select: Ubuntu, Windows, BDS, and other different OS when you install diffrent OS cd as computer easily recognizes to make new partition for you automatically.

PAY ATTENTION WHAT OS ASK YOU question to select what you want - - - do not walk away while installation runs. If you miss it, computer assumes to choose the default (make partition for whole existing OS and new OS together).

My son's computer is entire fully Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron---NO DUAL BOOT at all i tweaked to speed up Ubuntu boot process nicely.

What is the purpose to have Dual Boot?  The user wants Dual Boot that the user do not want to leave the favorite OS such as Windows XP to keep. That is why Dual Boot invents first place.  Using Windows XP for playing video games which Linux does not have supported Windows game applications on Linux applications.  Not all of the Windows game applications will work on Linux applications.

That is why to keep Windows XP for playing games able to switch back to Ubuntu for work productivity or whatever you do the task back and forth using Dual Boot.

For now let me see google and my Ubuntu Hack book to find out if there is possible to uninstall old Ubuntu 7.04 Feity Fawn---it will back up your /home file directory you do not want to lose important data/files you use on old Ubuntu 7.04 Feity Fawn into Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron for you.  It is very complex and tough to uninstall if you do not know how to back up linux files real carefully---not the same as Windows XP the way it back up easily.

Otherwise, you need experienced licensed Linux administrator in Nigeria to help you how to uninstall old Ubuntu 7.04. (not Windows XP administrator because Windows admin is not their specialized in Linux)

Hope it helps!!!

Double-click the icon of your anti-virus to pop up opening window look for word "update" button.
